LEXINGTON STICKS TO SELECTED DATES. Lexington, Ky.. March 6. — At a meeting of the directors of the Kentucky Association today, J. N. Camden, Jr., and W. R. Letcher were re-elected president and secretary respectively. On the subject of spring datas it was the sense of the meeting that Lexington should not relinquish her position and that there should be ten days racing here begin ning April 22 and ending May 2. Louisville haa expressed a desire to open May 2, but the directors here do not think they should give up one of the two Saturdays to permit this. The matter was finally placed in the hands of the executive com mittee, which is instructed to meet with representatives of the Louisville and Latonia tracks and agree upon a schedule which the State Racing Commission will be asked to sanction. So it is now probable that the Kentucky Derby will be run on Monday, May 4. Colonel Milton Young has sold the two-year-old bay colt To and Fro, by Cameron — Bandy, to F. C. Moshier, of Galesburg. Another foal by Adam arrived last night. It is a chestnut colt, out of H. B. Duryeas seven-year-old chestuut mare, Armenia, by Meddler — Liauia, at Elliott C. Cowdius Kuklevingtuu stud.
